Exakta VX
by Debby D

British Columbia, Canada

Dad gave me this camera when I was about 15. He told me it was rare and would be a collector's item some day, and now it is. Built in about 1955 - one of the last original Exaktas made in Dresden, Germany. It has a Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 2/58 lens. That was my training camera and was used a lot.

Sony DSC-H5
1/8s f/3.5 at 15.1mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Lovely shot of a great camera. Exacta was the first SLR of course & also the camera used by Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window. What could be more classic?
